That's great news (user feedback)! I just make my first .cygport file and
surprised by policy on .cygport file names.

I worry about maintaining clean VCS history of project and renaming files just
for version update seems wrong practice in VCS. It is possible to workaround
this issue be generating .cygport file during build process. But now I just
place 'PACKAGE.cygport' into my source code tree.
